From the entrance alone, I loved the cute character branding and the butter-toned interior! Arriving around 11:30 on a weekday there was no wait, but a small line started forming after noon!! There's no dedicated parking lot, so I'd recommend public transit or walking. ![Interior of Omil Hyehwa Daehangno with wood-toned decor](https://img.superchart.com/images/omeal-hyehwa-weekday-lunch-set/omeal-hyehwa-weekday-lunch-set-05-143sb-900.webp) *Review of the two-person set at Omil Hyehwa Daehangno, a Daehangno pasta restaurant* ![View of the dining room with two-person tables at Omil Hyehwa Daehangno](https://img.superchart.com/images/omeal-hyehwa-weekday-lunch-set/omeal-hyehwa-weekday-lunch-set-06-pefg6-900.webp) ![Seating and character-themed decor at Omil Hyehwa Daehangno](https://img.superchart.com/images/omeal-hyehwa-weekday-lunch-set/omeal-hyehwa-weekday-lunch-set-07-1k7mw-900.webp) Walk in and you're greeted by a warm wood-toned interior that instantly puts you at ease, and since they have kids' chairs, it seemed like a great spot for a couple's date as well as a family visit with children! Plenty of two-person tables make it good for solo dining too, and groups of four or more are fine as well!! ## How to order at Omil, and the self-service bar with homemade pickles ![Table ordering sign at Omil Hyehwa Daehangno](https://img.superchart.com/images/omeal-hyehwa-weekday-lunch-set/omeal-hyehwa-weekday-lunch-set-08-dux05-900.webp) *Review of the two-person set at Omil Hyehwa Daehangno, a Daehangno pasta restaurant* At Omil Hyehwa Daehangno you just sit at your table and order comfortably!! They give you one free ade if you write a Naver receipt review or a Google Maps review, so make sure to take part and enjoy a tasty drink haha. ![Homemade pickles and tissues at the Omil self-service bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/omeal-hyehwa-weekday-lunch-set/omeal-hyehwa-weekday-lunch-set-09-bwu16-900.webp) *Review of the two-person set at Omil Hyehwa Daehangno, a Daehangno pasta restaurant* At the self-service bar you help yourself to as much homemade pickle as you want, and wet wipes, tissues, and paper cups are all free to use, which was really convenient! ![Cabbage and cucumber homemade pickles served on a plate](https://img.superchart.com/images/omeal-hyehwa-weekday-lunch-set/omeal-hyehwa-weekday-lunch-set-10-o1gj7-900.webp) *Review of the two-person set at Omil Hyehwa Daehangno, a Daehangno pasta restaurant* The cabbage cucumber pickles in particular were homemade with a clean flavor, and they cut through richness so well that I ended up eating two whole bowls haha. ## What comes in the Omil two-person set, dish by dish ### Rubber duck omurice, with a plush you can keep ![Rubber duck omurice topped with a duck plush](https://img.superchart.com/images/omeal-hyehwa-weekday-lunch-set/omeal-hyehwa-weekday-lunch-set-11-gjyma-900.webp) *Review of the two-person set at Omil Hyehwa Daehangno, a Daehangno pasta restaurant* The rubber duck omurice comes out with an adorable rubber duck character perched right on top of the bowl, so the moment you see it you just blurt out "so cute!!!" The rubber duck plush on top is yours to keep as a souvenir, but it's a limited-time menu, so I'd definitely recommend trying it as the signature dish haha. With soft egg and savory, pepper-seasoned salmon fried rice, the sweet-salty sauce pairs perfectly — it seems like a great menu to share with a kid too! ### Gochujang butter pasta (K-butter pasta) ![Gochujang butter pasta topped with steak](https://img.superchart.com/images/omeal-hyehwa-weekday-lunch-set/omeal-hyehwa-weekday-lunch-set-12-1qq6w-900.webp) *Review of the two-person set at Omil Hyehwa Daehangno, a Daehangno pasta restaurant* A dish worthy of this famous Hyehwa pasta restaurant's signature! Could gochujang and butter really go this well together? It was such an unexpected combo that I was really curious. ![Fork lifting a bite of gochujang butter pasta noodles](https://img.superchart.com/images/omeal-hyehwa-weekday-lunch-set/omeal-hyehwa-weekday-lunch-set-13-1am68-900.webp) ![Cross-section of the steak on top of the gochujang butter pasta](https://img.superchart.com/images/omeal-hyehwa-weekday-lunch-set/omeal-hyehwa-weekday-lunch-set-14-m0u4t-900.webp) The heat blended with the rich, mellow flavor of the butter, cutting through any greasiness and cranking up the addictiveness!! The steak on top was cooked tender with just the right seasoning, and the pasta noodles were chewy with a deep flavor that clung to every bite — pure art. ### Crunchy corn fritters ![Crunchy corn fritters topped with Padano cheese](https://img.superchart.com/images/omeal-hyehwa-weekday-lunch-set/omeal-hyehwa-weekday-lunch-set-15-1q7e1-900.webp) *Review of the two-person set at Omil Hyehwa Daehangno, a Daehangno pasta restaurant* Chosen as a side to go with the mains, the crunchy corn fritters looked so tempting with their savory Padano cheese and spicy-salty seasoning!! ![Crunchy corn fritters being dipped in sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/omeal-hyehwa-weekday-lunch-set/omeal-hyehwa-weekday-lunch-set-16-15vnx-900.webp) *Review of the two-person set at Omil Hyehwa Daehangno, a Daehangno pasta restaurant* The pop of the corn kernels combined with the accompanying dipping sauce delivered a sweet-and-salty charm that made it a great little side dish haha. If you're sensitive to strong spices, though, this might taste a bit intense! ### Pineapple ade ![Pineapple ade served in a pineapple-shaped cup](https://img.superchart.com/images/omeal-hyehwa-weekday-lunch-set/omeal-hyehwa-weekday-lunch-set-17-ahnel-900.webp) ![Set drink with chewy pineapple chunks](https://img.superchart.com/images/omeal-hyehwa-weekday-lunch-set/omeal-hyehwa-weekday-lunch-set-18-i10kg-900.webp) For the set's drink I went with the pineapple ade, and the pineapple-shaped cup was so cute it reminded me of SpongeBob!! The pineapple chunks had a jelly-like chew that paired really nicely with the drink haha. ![Full layout of the Omil Hyehwa Daehangno two-person set](https://img.superchart.com/images/omeal-hyehwa-weekday-lunch-set/omeal-hyehwa-weekday-lunch-set-19-wrrqd-900.webp) *Review of the two-person set at Omil Hyehwa Daehangno, a Daehangno pasta restaurant* Walking over in the cool autumn breeze had left me a bit peckish, but this generous set really turned my mood around 😆 (it's the perfect portion for two).
